Tomorrow is Monday. By God’s grace, this week will be filled with GOOD NEWS, divine favor, financial blessings, open doors, and reasons to smile every day.
When I distance myself from people, I truly believe I’m respecting the space they asked for. There’s no way you could treat me that way and expect me to think you still wanted me in your life.
I take full responsibility when I am wrong. But I will not apologize for how I react when you humiliate, disrespect, and deliberately provoke me. You don't get to do both. There's a tactic that doesn't get talked about enough. They push. They poke. They chip away at your dignity with little digs, public embarrassments, and deliberate provocations — and then the moment you respond, suddenly you're the problem. Suddenly you're "too emotional.Suddenly your reaction becomes the entire story and everything they did to trigger it conveniently disappears. That's not an accident. That's a strategy. Reactive abuse is real. And it works because good people feel guilty for finally snapping after being endlessly patient. They count on your conscience. They count on you apologizing for breaking when they spent weeks trying to break you. Your response was never the issue. The behavior that caused it was.
I appreciate my man because he don’t let my trauma phase him. When I’m emotional he lets me have it. He doesn’t cuss at me. He doesn’t get loud. He realizes I’m tryna grow and change after so much pain. He takes his time and in turn I feel safe enough to not be so aggressive and defensive. Iron sharpens iron but love softens the heart❤️💯
Like I said most times being alone is wayyyyy easier. Your nervous system is regulated. You make more money. Your energy is not being drained by petty arguments.
cutting people off feels different now. it’s not anger, it’s grief. like dang… I really wanted you here, but your actions showed me I’m not safe with you.
